Symetrix introduced SymNet Express, available in two hardware versions (due to be available this autumn) - Express and Express Cobra - which the company says will extend the use of the SymNet technology into new applications. All the Express units are driven by version 5.0 of the Windows-based SymNet Designer software, which allows for off-line creation and editing of Express processing systems, and real-time control once the hardware has been commissioned onsite.

Express is available in three models (12x4, 4x12 and 8x8 - all inputs mic- or line-selectable) targeted at stand-alone applications where a single DSP unit is sufficient to handle all of the processing between the source gear and the amplifiers.

Express Cobra is available in four models (12x4, 4x12, 8x8 and 4x4), each including an 8x8 CobraNet license, supporting the networked digital audio protocol. These units can couple either to each other, to SymNet Audio Matrix systems (using Symetrix CobraLink hardware) or to third party manufacturers supporting the CobraNet protocol. Express Cobra models can be used as basic components in a simple system, or as cost-effective remote I/O units in more complex applications.
